Despite the issue garnering a significant amount of media interest as well as the attention of the Secret Service, Obama supporters continued their threats to riot and assassinate Mitt Romney if Obama loses in the aftermath of last night’s presidential debate.

As we reported last week, Twitter has been flooded recently with violent comments from Obama supporters. The increase in volume of the comments seemed to coincide with Romney’s poll numbers edging higher against Obama.

Not only have Obama voters been making open threats that they will riot and cause mayhem, they have also been caught making direct threats to assassinate Mitt Romney, prompting the Secret Service to announce that it was “aware” of the threats and would “conduct appropriate follow up if necessary.”

Leftists routinely cry foul and attempt to demonize conservatives as violent extremists whenever online rhetoric gets heated, and yet when their own engage in even worse conduct, their behavior is absolved and the media is disinterested.

Twitchy has discovered yet more tweets from Obama supporters threatening to violently murder Romney. They include the following;

The establishment has tried to bury this issue by blaming the likes of Infowars for drawing attention to it. Because most of the tweets are being made by black people, it’s all our fault and we are engaging in “race-baiting”.

Imagine how this organization, which claims it is non-partisan yet simultaneously admits its goal is centered around “driving the White House’s message and agenda,” would react to thousands of tweets threatening violence against Obama?

Since the majority of death threats against Barack Obama over the past four years have been made by white people, does that also render the issue meaningless?

Were the news outlets that reported on the death threats made by white people against Obama blamed for “race-baiting”? No, the death threats were treated seriously and investigated by the Secret Service.

The race of those engaging in death threats against public figures shouldn’t matter, all the threats should be treated with equal concern. If anyone is engaging in “race-baiting,” it is those who have played the race card in attacking us merely for covering this story.

It is important to stress that Infowars is non-partisan. We do not support either Romney or Obama. Yet the magnitude of the double standard in the media’s failure to acknowledge this story, while leftist Obama front groups attempt to demonize those drawing attention to it, is jaw-dropping given the aggressiveness with which liberals persecute conservatives whenever heated rhetoric is targeted against left-wingers.

To their credit, many sensible black Twitter users have castigated those making the threats, pointing out the sheer stupidity of their actions, yet the American media still remains virtually mute on the entire issue.
